You should choose whichever issue is most prominent, then research to find the topic with the most reliable information. from there, you can build your base on that solid information. it has to be facts or a legitimatized opinion, otherwise you can't easily defend your position on said topic. make sure your opinion is well founded. you should also be interested in the topic, otherwise your attention will slip.

I would say that it is quite important to recognize and acknowledge that everyone in the world has common life experiences that are positive and negative because while it might be great to stay by ourselves and be alone for a while and sit with our thoughts if we had a negative experience, it's also great to go out there in the world and find someone who went through something similar because it can make one feel so much better to have someone who truly understands their pain or the difficult emotions that they're feelings/going through at the moment. And if it's a positive experience, the same principle applies. Maybe you want to go out and find someone who knows that excitement that you're feeling or someone who knows how much work you put in to get to that place you're at now.
Hope this helps :>
